In Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Cousins went 26 of 44 for 295 yards, with two touchdowns. While the stat line suggests that Cousins played well, a lot of his success happened in the second half, and when the Rams were playing a soft zone against them.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cousins' 295-yard game masked poor first half; most production came in garbage time.

In Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Cousins went 26 of 44 for 295 yards with two touchdowns, but the stat line masks poor first-half performance: he was 7 of 12 for 39 yards at halftime when the Raiders trailed 28-6, with the team's first touchdown not coming until the fourth quarter. Most of his success came in the second half against soft zone coverage, suggesting limited effectiveness when defenses played tight.
